In a world where the power of chess transcends borders, we at Summit School of Chess are deeply moved by the recent story of the teenage duo in Gaza who founded the Karawan Chess Club. Their initiative, documented through the Herz and Omar Show on Instagram, has not only touched the hearts of millions but has also underscored the universal language of chess in fostering resilience and hope amidst adversity.
The Transformative Power of Chess
As the owner and head coach of Summit School of Chess, I, National Master Jesse Cohen, am passionate about coaching young chess enthusiasts to become the masters of tomorrow. Our mission is to provide youth in the Greater Denver Area with the opportunity to develop critical thinking, strategic planning, and problem-solving skills through the game of chess. The story of Omar Rasheed, Mohammad Herzalah, and Mustafa Saleh resonates deeply with our core values and mission.
Chess: A Beacon of Hope and Learning
The Karawan Chess Club’s success in providing a sanctuary for displaced children in Gaza highlights the transformative power of chess. Omar, Mohammad, and Mustafa have shown that even in the direst circumstances, chess can offer a semblance of normalcy, joy, and educational enrichment. This mirrors our own belief that chess is not just a game but a vital tool for cognitive and emotional development.
Our Commitment to the Community
Inspired by the Gaza Chess Club, we reaffirm our commitment to making chess accessible to all children, especially those facing challenging circumstances. We believe that any individual, regardless of their background, can benefit from the life skills chess imparts. These skills include logical thinking, planning, evaluation, focus, and problem-solving, which are essential for better decision-making and productive contributions to society.
